@Kevin Rodriguez If you did well purchasing here in San diego and leaving behind a great rental, no reason not to do the same up in Seattle and take advantage of low money down owner occupied loan.  

If you ever decide to purchase a non-owner occupied single family property, some lenders allow you to put down as little as 15% for the down payment.

If a home owner doesn't properly maintain their home, you would think an earthquake hit their house from some of the stuff I have seen. 

Sold to me for 1.7 I still owe 700k that the old owner carried at 3% interest only now due in February .

The owner and their heirs have been deceased for decades.

Currently closing on a house and looking for home owners insurance for a 2 family house.

I never understood the fascination with concealing the identify as a property owner.

Owner must install a fire alarm system inside property.At each manual fire alarm box a sign shall be mounted near the box that states: IN CASE OF FIRE SOUND ALARM AND CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT (or call 911)No pull station inside rental property.

One thing to consider is owner finance if you can. 

Could someone please explain the mortgage interest limitations in the case of a NYC Co-Op owner?
